Large gaps between teeth can be improved with dental fillings. Generally, when the gap between front teeth is less than 2 mm, filling treatment can be performed under a dentist's guidance to close the gap and enhance appearance. If the gap is too large, treatments such as all-ceramic veneers or orthodontic therapy may be considered. The specific treatment method should be chosen after a comprehensive examination and based on the dentist's recommendations. After treatment, it is advisable to eat liquid or semi-liquid foods temporarily and avoid biting hard foods.
